The voltage and frequency of your
power supply and the voltage and
frequency specified on the unit must be
the same.
The connection to the power supply
must be protected by a fuse or a circuit
breaker with a minimum rating in
accordance with the specifications – see
"Specifications."
The power tool must be connected to the
power supply via a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of
safety.
The electrical power supply connection
must comply with all applicable
standards and regulations.
Extension Cords
Make sure your electrical cord set is in
good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized
extension cord may cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table below shows the
correct size (AWG) to use for your
machine (Cord types SJW or SJTW)
depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Appropriate extension cords are
available in special stores for electrical
equipment or from your STIHL dealer.
